vikingman Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2020/05/11/show-of-force-during-coronavirus-all-3-types-of-usaf-bombers-fly-long-range-missions-to-europe/ In the last week, the Air Force has flown all three of its bomber aircraft on multiple long-range missions to Europe, from their home bases in the United States. The flights were also partly intended to show the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing complications have not impaired the Air Force’s ability to carry out complicated, simultaneous missions. On Monday, a B-1B Lancer from the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota flew a long-range strategic Bomber Task Force mission to Europe, U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Fores Africa said in a release. That was the wing’s second such flight in less than a week — the 28th also flew two Lancers to the Baltic region on May 5, on a mission that included training with the Danish air force. And on Thursday, two B-2 Spirit bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, two B-52H Stratofortresses from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and two B-52s from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana flew to the U.S. European Command and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command geographic areas of responsibility, U.S. Strategic Command said in another release Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Var det månne "ZAPAD 81"? Men nu kanske vi har lämnat ämnet... Edited May 12, 2020 by Granis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nu tror jag väl iofs att Amerikanerna har gjort ännu mindre av saken... Fast det är väl kanske naturligt om man även övat mindre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
